SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Minutes after scoring a game-high 38 points following the first Sacramento Kings' playoff victory in nearly 17 years, guard De'Aaron Fox walks to the scorers' table and greets owner Vivek Ranadive. The 18,253 fans at the Golden 1 Center know what's coming next as a countdown begins and a laser technician waits atop the roof for the signal.
3 ... 2 ... 1 ... LIGHT THE BEAM!
Fox hits the comically large Kings-branded, purple and silver buzzer and sends a 300-watt purple laser beam to the heavens.
